How palletizing robots liberate human labor

With the continuous changes in the global economic competition pattern and the market, the manufacturing industry is facing new challenges. Factories and enterprises not only have to face the crisis of the disappearance of the demographic dividend, but also deal with rapidly changing market demands. At present, more and more consumer markets have put forward individual customization requirements. Modern factories need to have flexible production capabilities. Therefore, the transformation to an intelligent manufacturing model is an inevitable trend.

Palletizing robot system

In the process of manufacturing transformation and upgrading, industrial robots have become an important role. The robotic arm is not affected by time and harsh environments, and can replace human labor under program control, and can flexibly perform various complex production tasks, such as handling, loading and unloading, grinding, spraying, packaging, etc. Among them, palletizing is currently one of the widely used scenarios, occupying a large market share in the industrial robot market.

The so-called palletizing refers to stacking products according to certain requirements to facilitate forklift transportation to warehouses, or to carry out logistics tasks such as packing and shipping. It is common in scenarios such as automated production lines, docks and warehouses. Palletizing robot systems are widely used in automobile manufacturing, metal processing, glass manufacturing, electronics, wood processing, logistics and transportation, food and other industries, which can greatly increase the production capacity of handling lines.

The market scale is expanding rapidly

In the manufacturing industry, palletizing robots are widely used in the packaging of various bags, cans, cartons, and beer crates in the chemical, beverage, food, beer, and plastic industries. Robots are more suitable for palletizing work than humans, especially for stacking heavy items, because they can not only prevent employees from spraining and other problems, but also are several times more efficient than humans.

Although the model of human-machine collaboration is advocated in the future, in some harsh environments and special task scenarios, it is an inevitable demand for robots to replace humans. For workers, palletizing is a kind of boring physical work with very low added value. By replacing people with machines, manpower can be freed up to engage in higher-value work.

More advantages  in packaging

Compared with traditional centralized palletizers, an industrial robot can stack different goods in different shapes. Greatly reduce the downtime of the equipment debugging process. Moreover, industrial robots take up less space and will not waste the area of ​​the factory.

The palletizing robot is to perform simple stacking work, with a simple structure and few parts, so it is much easier to maintain and can save more costs.

When manually transporting and stacking goods, only a small amount of work can be completed in an hour. The efficiency of labor is extremely high and it is easy to cause problems such as work injuries. The robot will not be affected by these, and can complete the stacking task regardless of the size or weight of the goods, thereby further improving the efficiency of factory packaging.
